Abstract Plant roots are key components of plant growth and development by taking up soil water and inorganic nutrients. Therefore, understanding root characteristics such as root length, root angle, root density, and root diameter is very important for improving crop productivity. Here, we investigate the effects of exogenous application of silicon on root morphological traits in two soybean cultivars (Taeseon and Pungsanaeul). The majority of root morphological traits evaluated show a significant (p
